Northmoor Trust

Northmoor Trust
Round Hill at Wittenham Clumps.

The Northmoor Trust was set up in 1969 by the British engineer Sir Martin Wood to promote environmental conservation through land management, education and land science. It is a registered charity under English law.[1]

Based at Little Wittenham, the Trust currently manages a 300-hectare (750 acre) estate, which includes the Wittenham Clumps, Little Wittenham Nature Reserve, a conservation farm and an area of woodland dedicated to forestry research.

In 2006 the Trust completed a move to new environmentally friendly offices at Hill Farm and opened their new landscape evolution centre, Project Timescape.

Northmoor Trust runs an exciting events programme that aims to bring people closer to their landscape and therefore want to protect it. The Northmoor Trust organises Oxfordshire's Children's Food Festival.
